Girls in the modern world may mostly love money and fresh meat.

But girls in the Warring States Period loved heroes many times.

After Wang Xiao showed his strong military command ability, Zhao Qian, who was originally in love with him, was even more obedient to him and welcomed him with kindness.

No matter what request Wang Xiao makes, Zhao Qian will do her best to do it.

Although his proficiency is very poor, he may even make jokes about it. But Wang Xiao is very satisfied with it.

It’s like the kind of person who knows what to do with just a shot of XX, but he’s really not interested.

It took two days before Wang Xiao's convoy crossed the river.

The main reason is that there are too many carriages in the team and hundreds of horses have been seized, which has rapidly expanded the scale of the team.

In order to deal with this situation, after arriving in the great city of Wei, Wang Xiao sold all the captured horses.

In other words, Dangyin is a big city, otherwise hundreds of horses would be taken out at one time, and no merchant could eat them.

Wang Xiao, who made a fortune, provided maintenance and maintenance for all the vehicles in the team.

The wheels should be replaced, and the horses pulling the cart have also been replaced with stronger pack horses.

Afterwards, a large number of various daily necessities were purchased and a bonus was paid to the Zhao army soldiers. The entire team reached its peak from morale to state.

The purpose of doing this is very simple, that is, the danger ahead did not end because of the retreat of Gray Hu, and a greater crisis has not yet arrived.

The team then continued to move forward for more than half a month, crossed the Inner River and the West River, and headed south along Puyang to Pushui.

This place is already very close to Daliang City, and there are Wei army camps everywhere along the way.

After checking the barriers, these defenders did not make things difficult for them, but refused to send a team to escort them.

Needless to say, I know that this is an order issued by the superiors.

In other words, the King of Wei could not directly send troops to surround him, otherwise, as long as thousands of Wei troops came up to siege him, Wang Xiao's team could be destroyed.

Of course, this is when Wang Xiao does not use his personal weapons of mass destruction.

In this regard, the King of Wei saved himself.

"It's almost done."

When the team reached a hill that day, Wang Xiao suddenly stopped the horse and said this.

The hundreds of people around me felt confused and could not understand what Wang Xiao meant.

"Walking through the Pu River further, you will be very close to Daliang City, which is the prosperous core of Wei State. As long as the King of Wei is not crazy, he will not take action there. So the final attack must be on the north bank of Pu River."

Wu Zhuo followed and asked, "Then why don't we build a village on the north bank of Pushui like we did before, and fight again."

There is a very interesting saying, that is, "All generals in the world want to fight a war like before."

As for the reason, it is because they are very familiar with each other and can know how to deal with it.

Wu Zhuo’s idea is not wrong. It is the easiest way to copy it again according to the last victory route.

"Are you thinking that those horse thieves are NPCs?"

Wang Xiao simply waved his hand, "The most important thing in marching and fighting is to know how to adapt to changes and choose appropriate combat methods based on different forms and environments."

He pointed his hand at the hillside on one side, "There must be a large number of horse thieves coming this time, and the environment here is not suitable for the previous tactics. So, we will go up the mountain to form a village this time and wait for reinforcements to come and rescue."

"Reinforcements?" Wu Zhuo was puzzled. "The one who wanted to kill us was the King of Wei. We will actually have reinforcements in this Wei territory?"

"Of course there are reinforcements."

Wang Xiao looked at the convoy of Mrs. Pingyuanjun not far away. "The King of Wei wants to deal with us, in the final analysis, it is to deal with Xinlingjun. Strategically, we must find ways to destroy what the enemy wants to accomplish. The King of Wei wants to destroy it.

Our team, then Xinlingjun will definitely come back to rescue us and let us enter Daliang City alive."

Wu Zhuo asked again, "How do you inform Xinlingjun?"

"Theoretically, as long as we persist for a while, Xinlingjun, who felt something was wrong, would definitely send someone to inquire."

Wang Xiao smiled and said, "But we have Xinlingjun's sister and nephew here, so we naturally asked them to send someone to deliver the letter. After all, those horse thieves don't care who they are. Once the camp is destroyed, they will die."

Wu Zhuo saluted Wang Xiao on the back of the horse, "Sister-in-law Sun, Wu Zhuo worshiped him."

Wang Xiao went to find Mrs. Pingyuan Jun, without any unnecessary words. She briefly explained the current environment and immediately agreed to send a monk to take a small way to Daliang City to deliver a letter.

Next, Wang Xiao should arrange his defense.

At this time, it is very dangerous to set up camps on the plains according to local conditions.

Therefore, Wang Xiao chose to set up the camp on the hills.

The advantage of doing this is that the defense ability is greatly enhanced. After all, attacking mountains is a difficult problem in any era.

The disadvantages are also obvious. If there is no water on the mountain, you will die of thirst.

Secondly, if the mountains are lush, it is easy for the enemy to choose to burn it into a roasted suckling pig on a day with the right wind direction.

Wang Xiao knew these things well, so he chose a hill with clear springs on the top of the mountain.

A team of hundreds of people is enough, even if Qingquan is not big.

Then he asked the soldiers to cut down all the trees on the hills and drag them to the mountain to build camps.

The bushes and grass were not left behind. After setting up the fire belt, all the fires were burned out.

This is also because the nearby hills are not as good as small landfills. Otherwise, his manpower would not be done until he could finish it.

There is nothing to say about the construction of the camp, it is nothing more than dangerous highlands, Tuzhai trenches, and the reserve of game spring water.

Along the edge of the camp, dig out mud ditches that are ten feet deep and five feet wide. The digs are piled in front of the trench and filled with stones, turning into a low earth wall that is half a meter high, leaving holes for crossbows and archery, which is very strong.

Then push the cart to the inner encirclement of the earth wall to strengthen the strength of the earth wall to fight against the enemy's impact.

The slope outside the wall was filled with sharpened wooden stakes, and a large number of trapped horse pits were dug. In addition, the necessary antlers were deer to resist horses, and in just three or four days, this unknown hill has become a heavily guarded military fortress.

"Sister-in-law Sun."

Wu Zhuo looked at the piles of supplies in the camp and asked curiously, "Did you know this would be the case long ago, so you bought so many supplies when you were in the storm?"

After Wang Xiao sold the captured horses in Dangyin City, he purchased a large amount of supplies.

From piles of dried food and dried meat, to medicinal pots and pots.

From various tools used for processing, to salt seasonings, and even cloth arrow clusters.

At that time, many people expressed their confusion about this because there would be cities of Wei along the way, so there was no need to get so many things to drag down the speed of the marching.

But now it seems that these materials are the most important resources to stick to the camp at this time.

Wang Xiao, who was standing on the top of the mountain, did not comment on this.

His eyes looked at the field in the distance, with grass and trees flying there, and dust covering the sky and the sun.

A vast and huge team is slowly approaching here.

After setting up an ambush in front for several days, he couldn't wait for Wang Xiao and the others. These horse thieves couldn't sit still and simply used their superior forces to siege them.

Unlike Huihu, who was greedy for merit and intending to seize merit, the boss of the horse thief who came this time was obviously experienced. He did not hurry or slow to advance, and calmly deployed his troops to surround the entire small landbag.

This time there were a large number of horse thieves, and it was estimated that there were at least tens of thousands.

In theory, no team of horse thieves can form such a huge scale. Because in this era, if you rely solely on robbery, you cannot support so many horse thieves.

The only explanation is that most of these are pretended by the regular Wei army.

Sending soldiers from their own country to pretend to be horse thieves and rob and destroy them in the enemy's territory is something that almost any country will do in this era.

"Sister-in-law Sun?" Wu Zhuo looked at Wang Xiao seriously, waiting for his order.

"Look at what I'm doing." Wang Xiao turned around and walked towards the camp. "Go back to eat and sleep, and have a good rest tonight."

"But~" Wu Zhuo was puzzled, what should I do if the horse thieves at the foot of the mountain attacked at night?

Wang Xiao saw through his thoughts and explained, "They just arrived, and they didn't even have time to build a camp. Where can I do the time and energy to launch a night attack? Really, if our camp is made of paper, it will be broken with one stab? Looking at the actions of these horse thieves, the leader must be very careful.

Be careful, build camps and cut timber to build siege equipment, and it is impossible to attack in less than two or three days."

"So, let's have a good rest these two days."

Wu Zhuo, who was convinced, only said, "Sister-in-law Sun, what is paper-smashed? Why is it broken with just one stab?"

"Hehehehehe~"

As Wang Xiao said, not only were they safe that night, but during the day the next day, the horse thieves at the foot of the mountain still showed no sign of attack, and were busy cutting down trees and building siege equipment.

"Have you noticed that these guys at the foot of the mountain are too arrogant?"

Wang Xiao pointed at the horse thieves who were building siege equipment at the foot of the mountain. "There is only a few hundred steps away from our camp there. Just doing these things under our swordsmanship is so arrogant that I look down on me."

Indeed, if the commander with more than 10,000 troops besieged a few hundred people, no matter how cautious the commander is, he will not believe that the defenders have the courage to attack.

Several hundred generals looked at Wang Xiao, "Please give orders from the commander."

"Pick fifty best riding warriors come out." Wang Xiao walked down the observation deck and said, "Follow me to attack and kill those craftsmen."

"Don't you destroy those siege equipment?"

"You are stupid. There are woods everywhere around here. As long as there are enough wood pipes, how many siege equipment can't be built? Killing those craftsmen is the real way to remove firewood from the bottom of the pot."

These locals are really uneducated and cannot be compared with those who have experienced the information explosion era in later generations.

What Wang Xiao said is something that is known to all the people in later generations, but not many people know about it in this era.

This is not a stupid person, but the difference between the living environment and information acceptance.
